I sort of knew "mammon", but I thought I was confusing it with manna, and "sort of knowing" doesn't count. I think I would have known "canula" (or "cannula") if I came across it in context, but I couldn't remember. I really like "clerisy".

Oi! Wotch it, Martian boy! The Doctor thinks he can spout all kinds of ridiculous technobabble and 'Last Time Lord Angst' at you just because he's from outer space, huh?
